Toshiba Regza 42ZV555D 42in LCD TV

Resolution+ makes another appearance on Toshiba's 42in 42ZV555D LCD TV. What does John make of it and the set?

Toshiba 42ZV555DB review

Toshiba's 42in screen lags behind the latest competition in flatscreens

Enjoyable black tones ; good with motion (eventually)

TV tuners don’t convince ; so-so 1080p pictures ; unpleasant sound

Toshiba seems to have been left behind somewhat by the latest crop of new flatscreens

Toshiba 42ZV555D review

Toshiba says its Resolution+ system brings HD quality to standard-def images

Excellent HD performance ; Resolution+ doesn't disappoint

Unexceptional sound, conventional design ; Res+ won't work over HDMI

Some clever tech and fantastic HD pictures makes this a TV well worth your consideration

Toshiba 42ZV555

This uses elements based on Toshiba's PC cell processing technology to deliver supposedly enhanced rescaling of standard definition pictures, so that they look sharper and more natural on the 42ZV555's full HD screen.

Unusually good standard definition pictures, solid feature count and specification, decent HD pictures too, aggressively priced

Black levels not the best, care must be taken with processing settings

Toshiba 42ZV555DB

An excellent all round performer but an evolution rather than revolution in TV technology ..

Toshiba's 42ZV555DB has demonstrated a technology which successfully enhances a Standard Definition source. The result is not comparable with HD but good enough (with a more than competent performance in all areas) to make this screen a serious contender.

Toshiba 42ZV555

When bad standard def goes good

Plenty of picture features for the money / Resolution+ works well / Generally good HD pictures

No multimedia connectivity / Black levels not the best / Video noise can be exaggerated / Limited viewing angle

Cue Resolution+: a powerful new image processing system from Toshiba designed to upscale standard definition to the high resolutions demanded by today’s HD screens much more effectively than anything Toshiba – or potentially any other brand – has...
